Polio Hunters (2006) Online

In 1988, an international campaign was launched with a formidable challenge -- to wipe polio off the face of the earth. Two decades later, 2 billion children have been immunized and 160 countries are certified polio-free. That leaves just a handful to go. And of all the challenges ahead, one of the biggest is India, which has more young children than any other country in the world. Polio Hunters follows Canadian doctor, Yacub Vaid. After an outbreak of the disease in North India, he's rushed in to stop it. His mission: to help immunize 750,000 children and do it in just 14 days.
